Electric machine
An electric machine is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, mechanical energy into electrical energy, or transforms electrical energy from one form to another. Electric machines are broadly classified into three categories: electric motors, electric generators, and transformers.
Types of Electric Machines[edit]
Electric machines can be categorized based on their function and construction:
Electric Motors[edit]
Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. They are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Common types of electric motors include:
Electric Generators[edit]
Electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. They are essential for power generation in various settings, including power plants and portable generators. Types of electric generators include:
Transformers[edit]
Transformers are used to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. They are crucial for the transmission and distribution of electrical power. Types of transformers include:
Principles of Operation[edit]
Electric machines operate based on the principles of electromagnetism. The key principles include:
These principles govern the interaction between magnetic fields and electric currents, enabling the conversion of energy.
